Icon2 90 dx hatch

Specs: 90 dx hatch, d15b2 everything pretty much stock

Hey guys, been working on a DX for awhile. Had it towed and now i got it back. Now on to the problem. It shuts off immediately after it turns on. Ive had two people i know check it out. One says it could be a fuel problem, such as an injector or my pump (which is new) and the other says it could be a "run circuit". Now ive done everything that is in my knowledge and ive searched for run circuit and have come up with nothing. So if you have any ideas please feel free to add.

Just for some background knowledge ive changed:

Fuel Pump, secondary fuel injector, new spark plugs, fuel filter and some other misc. items like seats but thats a diff story.

Does the engine continue running if you hold the key in between positions II and III?

If so, the ignition switch contact assembly is bad.

Probably the main relay for the fuel injection system.

Fuel pumps almost never go bad on Hondas. I've seen 2 bad fuel pumps in the past 3 years, and our shop works on over 70 Hondas and Acuras per week. Most people misdiagnose a bad main relay as a bad fuel pump because they never bother to check for power at the connector.
